HC Deb 14 July 1953 vol 517 cc135-6W
47. Mrs. Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how far he estimates that the increases which he made to old age pensioners in 1952 were adequate to meet the increase on food prices before and after the 1952 Budget.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The relief given to old age pensioners during 1952 more than covers the increase on food prices before and after the 1952 Budget.
